The UC3M approves the creation of the University Institute of Spanish Cinema
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has approved the creation of the University Institute of Spanish Cinema, which will be dedicated to teaching and research within the cinema and audiovisual fields. It will be presented at a public event this October on the occasion of the recently created Day of Spanish Cinema (6th October). According to the Institute's regulations, its roles include organising, developing, and assessing plans and research projects into Spanish cinema. Its main objective is combining the dual facet of cinema as art and industry from an academic, economic, and social perspective, encompassing other media where moving images are used, such as television, video games, and digital design, among others. Another of the centre's functions is scheduling postgraduate teaching activities, as well as professional specialisation and updating. In this sense, courses, workshops, and training activities related to the University Master's Degree in Cinema and Television, the UC3M Master's Degree in Cinema and Television Script, and the University Master's Degree in Advertising Communication are being planned, with the incorporation of the University Master's Degree in Transmedia Documentary and Reportage, the UC3M Master's Degree in Music Industry and Sound Studies, and the UC3M-Vogue Master's Degree in Fashion Image: Styling and Audiovisual Media. The Institute also aims to promote the distribution and execution of works and publications about Spanish cinema, which highlight the cultural value of the Spanish film sector.
